This.

It doesn't matter if it's Georgetown or your personal driveway. Really it's a crime of opportunity and it happens everywhere - even the best neighborhoods.

So its really YOUR fault if it happens; YOU are the one to blame.

Yes, that's right. If you leave your purse in plain site in your car and then leave your car unattended, then it is fact your fault for making your car am easy target.

Just like if you wear a short skirt and tight fitting shirt, then it's your fault for making yourself an easy target for rape. I get it.

I see - everyone's a victim. Take no personal responsibility. Got it. Why even lock you car doors? Your house doors? Maybe you should walk around wearing a t-shirt with your credit card info, SSN, etc. printed on it.

-NP

Do you blame rape victims for wearing a skirt

If they wear one in an unsafe location - sure. They should know better.

Do you lock your house doors?

I think your argument has lost all legitimacy.

I didn't know that wishing to live live without predatory criminals robbing, knifing or shooting them is "white privilege."

No, but expecting to live without such things is certainly affluent privilege.

How about demanding to live without them? We need more effective police protection to nip this spike in crime in the bud as it spikes and spreads in formerly pretty safe areas. Call it white privilege if you want, which means that you wallow in the false bigotry of low expectations. Sorry, but as a longstanding Washingtonian and taxpaying citizen, I expect DC to provide more than shithouse services.

If you were a longstanding Washingtonian, you would NOT expect this. You might want it, but you wouldn't expect it.

However, I'm impressed by your argument that "poor people don't have enough money to be able to afford to live in non-poor areas where crime is less frequent" is the false bigotry of low expectations (as opposed to the true bigotry of high expectations?).

I think they are purposely targeting those areas because that's where the $$ is. Not sure if its a spread as much as it is targeting.

Yes, everybody knows that the only appropriate attire for unsafe locations is pants!

Wait, what?

I would never teach my daughters that it is ok to dress like a ho in an unsafe location. Teach your daughter what you want, but I don't think that would be smart.

How so? Do you wear short skirts down dark, sketchy alleys alone at night?

There are choices we all make to keep ourselves and our belongings safe. Not leaving your purse visible in your car is one of those things most reasonable, intelligent people do to protect themselves.

And you still haven't answered - do you lock your front door?

This is just a really strange argument. As though there were rapists watching a parade of women go by down a dark, sketchy alley. "Nope, not that one, she's wearing pants. Nope, not that one, she's wearing pants too. Nope, not that one, her skirt is too long. Aha! That one! Right there in the above-the-knee skirt!"

First please tell me what hos wear. Then please describe to me what makes a location safe vs. unsafe. Then please explain why it's ok to dress like a ho in a safe location but not in an unsafe location.

So what do you teach your daughters? Wear whatever you want, go anywhere you want, any time, with anyone or even alone if you want? Drink to excess, get lost? Don't bring a phone, etc.

How do you prepare your children for the reality we live in?

Well then they had better be careful if they stop me. I carry and I'm pretty good at "targeting" myself.

Wow, if you don't know what ho's wear then you are truly living under a rock and have bigger problems. For your safety, I would urge you not to live in the District as you seem to lack some basic common sense.

For years under Barry the public schools had no toilet paper in the bathrooms and yet DC voters voted for the crook repeatedly. I'd call that "low expectations."

I didn't know that the DC mayor was personally responsible for toilet paper in school bathrooms.
